tyres

Maybe it's the 285/70X17 size I'm thinking of that will cancel out that error.

Anyway, very please with the Hankooks, good price too.

They are the second biggest tyre manufacturer in the world.

We got BFG AT's, 285/70X17 and according to the GPS when showing 100 kph the speedo is the same. Now all you need is your own choice of the brands.

Cheers

hi steve
2 laps pretty good approximatley how many km total & towing
cheers

I had a full set of Hankook RF10 in 285/70X17 fitted on 23 March 2010 at 49510kms.

They cost me $339 each, fitted, at Peel Tyre Service in Mandurah.

I'm submitting this post at the rest area at Yunta, 200kms west of Broken Hill and the speedo is sitting on 123,000kms in round figures.

I reckon I've got enough tread left for the rest of this trip (up to Cairns, back down to the Murray and home mid October) and all of summer. I anticipate a new set of tyres (or a new vehicle) before next winter for our next trip away.

I think only 10% of that mileage would have been without the van.

The two laps include the Gibb, half of the Tanami, the Darling River run, quite a bit of gravel and the rest bitumen with a fair bit of local WA stuff in between.

Any West Aussies, I highly recommend Peel Tyre Service.
